October is Fire Safety month! I’m so glad they do this in our elementary schools and make it such a priority to help our young people be prepared in the case of an emergency. It is especially great if local firefighters can come to your school (or you can visit a station) and your students can meet these outstanding individuals. I always found that it eased some of the fears about those scary sirens and masks, and helped students realize that firefighters are their friends and heroes! I personally always thought it was a great idea for them to speak to the kids while wearing their masks, just in case they are in a real fire and ever hear that kind of “Darth Vader” type voice.

“Fire! Fire!” By Gail Gibbons An oldie but a goodie for teaching about fire safety!

I have created a Firefighter Hero Craftivity that students can make that focuses on the hero aspect of firefighters. This unit can be used for remembering 9/11, Fire Safety Month, or even when studying community helpers! It comes with templates for each aspect of the firefighter as well as My Hero is… writing prompt pages.

I also have a fire safety freebie for you! It’s a Fire Safety Pledge Jumbo Bookmark, great for reviewing fire safety with your kids.

One last thing, I had the HONOR of helping with a guest post on the Beginner Beans Blog today. Trina is doing a 31 day series on letting your lil’ light shine. We posted today on how to turn a bad day around. Head on over to Beginner Beans and check it out. We would LOVE to hear your tips for turning those bad days into good ones (teacher’s should be pros at this!), so go ahead and leave some comment love while you’re there.

I’m a little late in the game BUT, I’m linking up today with the 2nd Grade Pad for super fun “My Favorite Freebie Linky Party”! With all of the things you have to pay for as teachers, isn’t it SO nice when you can get what you need for free?

My favorite freebie that I’ve made so far is my “I’m in Charge of Me! {A Leadership Craftivity}” :

It is my favorite because:

I can’t get enough of those 7 Habits! They are such great principles for our students to learn at an early age. I TRULY believe that if kids can learn these habits now, when they’re young, they will be better equipped to tackle all things in their adult worlds. Plus, those little kids in these cutouts are super cute and students can make them to resemble themselves.

How to use it:

You can just print out the templates and trace them onto the color of paper you would like! I usually read chapter one in the book “The 7 Habits of Happy Kids” by Sean Covey and then implement this “I’m Proactive” activity.

“I’m Proactive” Craftivity Steps

I also brainstorm with the students to help them create their “I’m proactive and take the first step when I…” page.

There are 2 different writing line styles included for differentiated learning.

You can click on any of the pictures or here to pick up your “I’m Proactive” 7 Habits Craftivity today. For more great freebies head on over to the 2nd Grade Pad!
